is the eb5000 (redmax) good for blowing wet clumpy or do i need to spend the money and get the eb7000(redmax).

The main reason I have the smaller Redmax is the power-to-weight ratio. I can't remember every single number, but I thought the 5000 was a better buy for ME - I don't clean-up a tremendous amount of leaves. Also, the 7001 is MUCH louder & heavier than the 5000. Just my opinion.

A MILLIONAIRE IS TOTALLY BROKE - WITHOUT THEIR CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY !!!!!

I don't know about the 5000, my experience is with the 7001 which I am now replacing with the 8001 (The 7001 is a good machine however the 8001 is even better.). I look at it like this, bite the bullet now and cry once over the extra money spent on a better piece of equipment or cry everytime the unit you saved a few bucks on isn't able to do the job it is needed for. All that aside, what you need is a unit with a higher mph rating over a high cfm. As I understand it the mph moves the wet hard stuff where the cfm works better on light large volume piles. I would compare the mph on the 7001 and the 8001. If it isn't close, or regardless, I would spend the extra money and look at it as a wise investment.
